Tilting at Windmills FULL PRESENTATION

چکیده
Harnessing wind energy is one of the pressing challenges of our time. The scale, complexity, and robustness of wind power systems present compelling cyber-physical system design issues. In response to these emerging challenges, Purdue has initiated strategic partnerships for infrastructure development. Working with the US Department of Energy, Purdue is developing physical infrastructure for an experimental wind farm on campus. Separately, General Electric has committed to building 60 wind turbines with total capacity exceeding 100 MW on land owned by Purdue. In return, GE will allow three turbines to be utilized for research and education, along with access to unrestricted data from all other turbines. This represents the most comprehensive experimental and operational wind energy infrastructure available for academic research today.

Using limited data, I argue that the review times in statistics are far too long for the field to keep pace with the rapidly changing environment in science. I note that statisticians do not appear to believe in statistics because data on the review process are not widely available to members of the profession. I suggest a few changes that could be made to speed up the review process, although ...

This comprehensive review paper examined 20 habitat/fragmentation experiments in terms of common hypothesis regarding the species area relationship, corridors, and density/abundance. Taken as a whole, the experiments had highly inconsistent results; only insects, which have short generation times, generally responded to fragmentation as predicted. The three long-term experiments did support pre...
